Medical in collection paid off and no score boost?

Hi everyone just curios as I had a medical bill in collection and did a pay to delete and as promise it was removed but i dont see any jumps in my credit score? 

 

Do collections from medicals have little to no weight in terms of how it affects your scores?

 

I have had 1-2 things removed (on collection)  and instantly jumped 10-20 points

There is no difference in weight due to it being medical. It might take a few days for any monitoring service to catch it and if there are other derogs there may not be a rise, your whole report is taken into consideration when something is removed.
